Your Brain!
By:Lundon Hatcher
Well…What about it?
 You
have a left and right side of the
brain, what is its relationship?
 How
do they communicate and
interact?
 What
would happen if they no
longer could communicate and
have a relationship?
The Relationship

The right and left hemispheres of the
brain and connected by the Corpus
Callosum

The corpus callosum is a thick bundle
of nerve fibers that connects the two
hemispheres, without it they could not
communicate
How they communicate
 The
corpus callosum is how the right
and left side of the brain send
messages; however certain
messages go to certain sides
 Right hemisphere = controls ?
 Left hemisphere= controls ?


The Relationship

The brain has a strange relationship, it
controls opposite sides of the body and
has different functions; however the
relationship between the two
hemispheres is important for our most
simple and most complex tasks.

The relationship between the brain is
also unique in that it can function as a
whole or as two separate hemispheres
What does this mean?
The brain its function and relationship with
itself and us, is much more than we can
fathom
 The brain has such strong communication
that one has troubles when trying to only
use one side.
 When communication is cut the brain
adapts and can still function.
 I only discussed one part of the brain,
imagine the relationships it has with all the
other parts and your body
